ADDRESSED TO: JUSTICE SECRETARY SHABANA MAHMOOD

Today, in the House of Commons, a Reform MP, Sarah Pochin, questioned Keir Starmer about banning the oppressive Islamic burka.

Keir Starmer ignored the question, but the question has caused a storm in politics and in the media.

The British people overwhelmingly want the burka/niqab banned on security grounds.

The burka/niqab is a backward practice that oppresses women.

We have launched a petition that we intend to deliver to Justice Secretary Shabana Mahmood, demanding that there is an urgent public referendum on this issue.

    The Quran suggests woman behave ‘Modestly’, the hijab does that and offends no-one. The burka is not part of British National dress !

    As a 60 yr old lady it scares me to see to go out on my own but to have to walk by people covering their faces terrifies me!

    I am a woman and I hate this form of oppression for women. It used to be the Left to be against this, but they do nothing. Nothing
